INPUTS 

 

The following input functions indicate the factory defaults with all inputs and outputs being configurable. 
Refer to document number P0021 for advanced programming information. Contact your local RCT branch or 
distributor for a copy of the document or for more information. 

 

 

FUNCTION 1 

 
This input is configured to have a five-second delay prior to pulsing the  alert indicator  and activating the 
alarm. After a further 10 seconds, the alert indicator will come on solid, the alarm will remain on and activate 
the  idle and ETR control circuits. This circuit activates when the circuit changes state and becomes open. 
This input is specifically designed for coolant level detection. 

If this function is not required, pin 7 must be 

connected to ground. 

 
Typical use: Cylinder head temperature 

 
 
FUNCTION 2 

 
This input is configured to have a one-second  delay prior to activating the  corresponding alert indicator, 
external audible alarm, idle,  and ETR control circuits. This circuit activates when the circuit changes state 
and becomes open.  

If this function is not required, pin 8 must be connected to ground. 

 
Typical use: Low engine oil pressure 
 
 

FUNCTION 3 

 

This input is configured to have a one-second  delay prior to activating the  corresponding alert indicator, 
external audible alarm, idle and ETR control circuits. This circuit activates when the circuit changes state and 
becomes open. 

If this function is not required, pin 9 must be connected to ground. 

 

Typical use: Transmission oil temperature 
 
 

FUNCTION 4 

 
This  input is configured to have a one-second delay prior to activating the  corresponding alert indicator, 
external audible alarm, idle,  and ETR control circuits. This circuit activates when the circuit changes state 
and becomes open. 

If this function is not required, pin 10 must be connected to ground. 

 
Typical use: Belt brake 
 
 

FUNCTION 5 

 
This  input is configured to have a one-second delay prior to activating the  corresponding alert indicator, 
external audible alarm, idle and ETR control circuits. This circuit activates when the circuit changes state and 
becomes open. 

If this function is not required, pin 11 must be connected to ground. 

 
Typical use:  Hydraulic oil temperature 
 
 

FUNCTION 6 

 
This  input is configured to have a one-second delay prior to activating the  corresponding alert indicator, 
external audible alarm, idle and ETR control circuits. This circuit activates when the circuit changes state and 
becomes open. 

If this function is not required, pin 12 must be connected to ground. 

 
Typical use: Hydraulic oil level.
